Paradise LostThere are two primary editions of Paradise Lost. The
first, published in 1667, has the poem divided into 10 books. The 1674 edition contains
revisions that were made to the 1667 text, including a redivision of the poem into 12 books
and the addition of Arguments to the beginning of each book.There are a number of reasons why both editions
hold value for Miltonists today, though most printed editions of Paradise Lost are
based upon the 1674 edition. Below are links to both the 1667 and 1674 editions of Paradise
Lost.
